Fanmanga - DB Multiverse

Dayspring posted the joke in good english a few posts later. Also, this joke isn't so much on the words, it's the character in and of herself.

I know; I was joking before. I still don't find the joke funny, though.

You make it sound like she can't control it cos she's so incompetent. Yeah right. Vegetto forbade her from using it, preventing any chance she had of mastering it. Is it really so unbelievable that Bra can match her father after 12 years of nothing but training? When Gohan barely trained at all and STILL surpassed SSJ3?

Dude, I was not attacking the character. She is one of my favorite characters in this comic. Why are you acting like that? Note I didn't ever said it is not believable she was so powerful.

Anyway, her control over her power in SSJ2 mode sucks. He almost killed her father and Gohan pointed out she usually destroy the surroundings as well (and that is a lot of destruction, considering how powerful she is). I was just pointing out we need a flashback to show this properly.

I think seeing Goku completely unaffected would have made it even funnier.

Bahaha, I think you're right, now that you mention that. Though Vegeta's "shut up, Kakarotto" comment also made me laugh.

Eh, I am not sure if you get it, but the one who said "Bear my child" is not Goku. It is Kakarotto from U13. Remember his fight against Kat? At last for now Goku can be just as unaffected as Gohan and Pan.

Exactly.

[JulieYBM]

I hope she's not like Paris! :p

[Scarz]

I... got nothing. To be honest I don't really care about U16's Bra. I have nothing against her character I just don't want to read a whole special chapter about her. I rather read a special about the other Bra, the one that seems more stuck up and spoiled. She's awesome!

Oh! I see. Eh, I've been reading this really casually, so I've not been keeping very good track of the universes. Thanks for pointing this out to me.

[Kingdom Heartless]

Oh, I knew that was Kakarotto, and that Goku wasn't shown.... I just think it would have been funny to see him.

[Piccolo Daimaoh]

So it has begun......



I'm not a fan of the art, either. But maybe this special will be actually interesting.

[TonyTheTiger]

Aw. I don't want to see this Bra topless...

Hmm. It says heiresses. I would guess Pan is another one, but she's Gohan's daughter, not Vegetto's.

[Heatth]

Hmm. It says heiresses. I would guess Pan is another one, but she's Gohan's daughter, not Vegetto's.

So what? In U18, Pan is not Goku daughter either, but it is quite obviously his heiress. Not to mention Uub, who is not related to him at all.

In English, these days "heiress" is socially meant to mean a cross between "daughter" and "wealthy inheritor" instead of just "female inheritor." So your right, but it's just not what everybody instantly thinks of anymore in Eglish. I blame Paris Hilton and shows like The Hills.

Just a note: I don't think any word in English can be used as an alternative to avoid this social confusion. The original reads as either "The 'inheritoresses' of Vegetto" or "Vegetto's 'inheritoresses'". Since "inheritoresses" isn't a word, you'd use "heiress."

[Heatth]

Then, I guess you can't say Uub is Goku heir either?

I didn't know 'inheritor' existed, though I don't think I would have trouble figuring it meaning. Anyway, "inheritoresses" is indeed, not a word. But inheritresses is. I suppose that would be the better translation then? Would "Vegetto's inheritresses" works?

Btw, there is any difference between "The 'inheritresses' of Vegetto" and "Vegetto's 'inheritresses'"? I figured that, since English don't use 'the' as much as most Latin languages you would use the latter, but the former has the same meaning, right?

[Dayspring]

Depends on the context. What is Uub inheriting? His fighting spirit? His role as Earth's protector? Unless Goku dies or retires and then Uub picks up where he left off, then Uub is not is heir in any meaning of the word.

"Inheritress" is a word? Yuck, my vocabulary needs to get bigger; I thought inheritor was gender-neutral.

It's more a matter of diction at that point, like saying "cease your current action at once" over "stop that right now." While both work grammatically, you'd probably say either "The inheritresses of Vegetto" or "Vegetto's heiresses." Since the short's going to be a gag-manga, I want to lean towards the latter, but it's too soon to tell if the higher diction was intentional or not.

He is meant to be Goku successor isn't he? If Goku dies or retire and Uub still have conditions to fight (we don't know how long a sayajin lives rght?) then Uub picks the bat as the 'protector of Earth' and follow Goku's fighting style.

While on it, Kuririn is Kame's 'heir' isn't he? It is the same thing for Uub and Goku (and Pan and Goku, at last in DBM).

Eh, I don't get it. ^^; Why the latter is better for a gag-manga? I didn't understand the "cease your current action at once" and "stop that right now" either (sorry my bad English). Is that the first phrase is less natural?

Saiya-jins live as long as humans do, they just stay in their primes longer and then rapidly age into wrinkly old people at the end.

Yeah. The first one is more wordy, more 'stiff', and "cease" is not something you hear in common every day conversation too often. It sounds more like something you'd see in a legal document. While the second sounds more like what your average person might say.

Also, it'd be "didn't understand." Not being mean, but how do you improve if people don't point out mistakes? :p

[Kingdom Heartless]

I'm hoping this is one of the shorter specials, because I want to get back to the main story.
